Private School Support

Funding Process

Planning and Implementation of Private School Participation Diagram

Basic steps:

  • Identify student needs
  • Provide supporting data for student needs
  • Design Program
  • Implement Program
  • Evaluate the Program

Invitation to Participate - A letter of invitation and survey request for enrollment data is sent out every year around April to all non-profit private schools within the TUSD boundaries.

Consultation occurs between the non-profit private school and LEA coordinator before the new school year begins. They engage in meaningful dialogue regarding the services provided by the LEA to the non-profit private school. Topics listed in the Affirmation of Consultation form are discussed:

  • How children's needs will be identified
  • What services will be offered
  • How and when decisions about the delivery of services will be made.
  • How where and by whom services will be provided
  • How services will be assessed and improved based upon assessment results
  • Size and scope of equitable services
  • Proportion of funds allocated for services
  • Method for determining poverty data (Title I only)
  • Equitable services to teachers and parents
  • Thorough analysis of the views of private school officials regarding third-party contractor and written explanation by the LEA if the LEA disagrees with the private school officials on the use of a third-party contractor.

Evaluation - At the end of the school year, using the evaluation tools developed during the design process, provide evaluation report and/or sample evaluations to LEA coordinator through consultation meeting or correspondence.
